Delonghi EC155 Coffee Maker

Product Information

The Delonghi EC155 pump-based espresso machine does not come with a 3 way (solenoid) valve. This is a device that releases pressure from the group head. Without it, pressure builds up after brewing an espresso. This means that you just need to wait a moment after brewing before you remove the portafilter. If you don’t, the result will be a mini coffee explosion, which is messy and not very pleasant. Trust me, I’m speaking from experience! Lastly, if you are keen on a top-notch tasting espresso, you will need a brewer that costs at least five times the price of this device. Closing Thoughts Besides the EC155, there are three very similar models that look identical: the EC145, EC146 and EC156. There are really no visual differences between them. Nevertheless, there are two distinctions under the hood that are worth mentioning: Delonghi EC145:

Manual Espresso Machine, EC155 | DeLonghi

Appearance, power and performance, and ease to use are one of the main similarities between them. This is what makes them look alike. If you can follow me duly I will show you what makes them more unique and good. 1. Appearance As I mentioned before in my review, the DeLonghi EC155 has a bit of inconsistency in the quality of the shot – sometimes it’s a little watery and other times it’s a tad over-extracted. But honestly, it’s pretty random and hard to control. No cappuccino machine would be complete without state-of-the-art milk frothing to create the microfoam of your dreams. The De’Longhi EC155 comes with a built-in swivel jet frother. The frother is connected to the cappuccino maker just next to the portafilter and designed with a natural angle for milk steaming and frothing.On manual (portafilter) Delonghi espresso machines, the two coffee-making buttons (the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons) usually flash simultaneously to warn of one of the following circumstances: Espresso is extracted using the 15-bar pressure pump to get quality, balanced espresso every time you brew. Remember that this is a beginner’s espresso machine, and is limited in the quality of espresso it can produce. That being said, the coffee from the De’Longhi is acceptable and certainly cheaper and more fun to make than just going to your local cafe. ‘Make-Life-Easy’ Features – 3/5 All these shortcuts result in inconsistent espresso quality. Shots I pulled using my test beans (Costco House Blend, medium fine grind) were just as likely to be bitterly over extracted, weakly under extracted or right on the money. The EC155 can make two cups of espresso at a time. Its double spout feature lets you brew two espressos simultaneously without compromising the quality. Is the DeLonghi EC155 easy to clean?

Yes! These parts are the drip tray, water reservoir, water filter, and also the cup holder. This is the part you can remove from your Stilosa coffee machine and also have access to clean it so fast for you. Conclusion The De’Longhi EC155is perfect for the beginner espresso aficionado with limited experience, or for anyone who has limited counter space – this thing is nice and compact! It really affects the brewing process a lot. That is why you should take your skills into account when choosing between the 145/146 and the 155/156. Let me explain in detail: The De’Longhi EC145 and EC146 have classic unpressurized filter baskets (the metal thing where you put the coffee), also known as a single wall filter. It has multiple small holes on both sides: The De’Longhi EC155 and EC156 are both equipped with pressurized (double wall) filters with a crema valve on the bottom. Clean the coffee spouts: Coffee residue can accumulate in the spouts, obstructing the flow of coffee. Regularly clean and maintain this component.

DeLonghi EC155 Review: An In-Depth Look

Yes, the manufacturer claims that this device has a Self-priming system that gets it ready in no time. However, upon closer examination, we found out that this function may save you the stress of manual priming, but it does only a little in making the overall brew time shorter than the norm. PRO TIP: You can use the waiting time to weigh, grind and tamp coffee grounds, and prepare the milk jug if you are in the mood for any of the milky espresso drinks. Technical failure: This is the most severe and challenging issue to resolve. If your coffee machine has a malfunctioning power control board (PCB), it will require replacement. My main complaint is the steam wand. It is inconvenient and less effective than on most competing models:
